Below are some of the main tips Vanda will give you to maintain a healthy mouth:

  • Use a toothbrush with a small head
  • Use a toothbrush with medium textured bristles
  • Use a small amount of fluoride toothpaste
  • Thoroughly brush for 2 minutes at least twice a day
  • Remember to concentrate on the area where the tooth meets the gum
  • Use dental floss to clean between your teeth
  • If necessary, use disclosing tablets to help identify areas of the mouth which need more attention
  • Have regular dental check ups
  • Watch the amount of sugar eaten between meals
